Elite Mentorship
Ship it with someone who already has.
Direct work with the founder who built Tase across iOS, Android, web, and Mac — voice AI, tool calling, store submissions, and a developer platform. Your product, your repo, a weekly cadence that ends in a shipped thing.

What it actually is
Hands in the code, not a podcast.
Work inside your repo
Not whiteboard advice. I read your code, open the pull request, and leave the reasoning next to the change so the next decision is yours to make.
Decisions, not options
You already have a list of possibilities. What you need is someone who has shipped this exact thing telling you which one to pick and what it will cost you.
Ship, then distribute
Store submission review before you hit send, and a distribution plan after — because a shipped app nobody finds is still a shelf.
AI that survives production
Prompts, tool schemas, evals, and cost control. The difference between a demo that works once and a feature that works for ten thousand people.
Tiers
Three depths. Same person.
Sprint
4 weeks
$490one-time
One focused problem, solved end to end. You arrive with a stuck build; you leave with it shipped.
- Kick-off audit of your codebase and roadmap
- Two 60-minute 1:1 sessions
- Async review — unlimited PR and architecture questions for 4 weeks
- A written plan you keep, with the next 90 days sequenced
A solo builder with a half-finished app and no idea which half to finish.
6 seats per cohort
Elite
3 months
$1,290per month
The full build-and-ship engagement. Weekly 1:1s, direct line in between, and I work in your repo with you.
- Weekly 60-minute 1:1 session
- Direct line for blockers — answered same day, every weekday
- Hands-on architecture and code review inside your repo
- App Store / Play Store submission review before you ship
- AI-stack design: prompts, tools, evals, cost control
- Launch plan with distribution, not just the build
Founders who are shipping to real users and cannot afford another six months of drift.
4 seats per cohort
Partner
Ongoing
By invitation
Invitation-only. I take a small number of long-term positions where I am effectively part of the team.
- Everything in Elite, with no session cap
- Roadmap and hiring input at the founder level
- Intro to the operators and builders in my network
- Cash, advisory equity, or a mix — agreed on the fit call
Teams past first revenue who want a technical partner, not a coach.
2 seats per cohort
How it runs.
01
Apply
A short form: what you are building, what is blocking you, and which tier fits. Ten minutes, no call required.
02
Fit call
If it looks like a fit, a 30-minute call. We look at the actual problem. If I am not the right person, I say so on this call.
03
Kick-off audit
I read the codebase and the roadmap, then come back with a sequenced plan — what to build, what to cut, what to ignore.
04
Weekly cadence
Session, async review between sessions, and a running decision log. You always know what to work on next.
Why me
Everything I would teach you, I shipped first.
- Tase shipped on iOS, Android, web, and Mac — one codebase family, four stores and surfaces
- A voice assistant in production: realtime audio, tool calling, and a memory layer that holds up
- A public developer platform: API, console, keys, metered billing, docs
- App Store and Play review survived, including the rejections that teach you the rules
- Solo, on a runway that did not allow for elegant detours
No cohort of graduates to point at yet — this is the first run of the program, and pretending otherwise would be the wrong start. What exists is the work: the apps, the platform, and the scars.
Who this is for.
A fit
- You are building something real and users can already touch it (or nearly)
- You can act on feedback inside a week, not a quarter
- You want a technical opinion, not motivation
- You are the person who decides — founder, tech lead, solo builder
Not a fit
- ·You want a course, a template pack, or recorded lessons
- ·You are looking for someone to build it for you end to end
- ·You need weekly accountability more than technical direction
- ·The product does not exist yet in any form and the idea is still moving daily
Apply for a seat.
Ten minutes now, a straight answer within two business days. No payment at application, and no mailing list.
Apply
A couple of sentences is enough — this is the part I actually read.
No payment now. Nothing is charged until after the fit call, and applying does not sign you up for a mailing list.
Already applied? Sign in with the same email and the status shows up under Elite Mentorship in the Tase console.
Questions
Why is it application-only?+
Because a seat is real calendar time, and there are only a handful per cohort. Screening on fit protects both sides: you do not pay for sessions that go nowhere, and I do not take a seat I cannot make count.
What happens on the fit call?+
Thirty minutes on the actual problem — not a sales pitch. You leave with at least one concrete answer whether or not we work together. If I am not the right person, I will tell you who or what is.
When do I pay?+
After the fit call, once we both agree it is a fit. Nothing is charged at application. Sprint is one payment; Elite is monthly for three months; Partner terms are agreed on the call.
Do you sign an NDA?+
Yes, on request, before the fit call. I also work with people in adjacent spaces, so if there is a direct conflict I will say so and decline rather than take the seat.
What if it is not working?+
Elite is month to month after the first month — tell me and we stop. Sprint is four weeks, so the worst case is short. I would rather lose the revenue than keep a seat that is not producing anything.
Do I have to use Tase or the Tase API?+
No. This is about your product and your stack. Plenty of the work is iOS, Android, web, or backend with no Tase involved at all.
Building on the API instead?
The Tase Platform gives you the same models the assistant runs on, with $5 of credit to start.
